Well, I downgraded to PRE_SMPNG and it still crashes on heavy disk
activity.

 i've experienced the same things: -CURRENT crashes on heavy disk activity,
 such as rm -rf /usr/ports or cvsup/anoncvs. it crashesh hard - no panic,
 just freezes... downgrading to PRE_SMPNG fixes it.

the funny thing is that the same kernel that crashed on my desktop pc
(with SMPng, but UP kernel) works like a charm on my laptop;-))

the only difference I see, is that the desktop pc has an HighPoint ATA66
controler, but it is unused - i have no disks attached to it

Thats not correct.
You have to upper kern.vm.kmem.size as a workaround.
Please read the thread for more information.
BTW: The increased memoryconsumption (and leak?) looks like a bug to me.

I see that too, and more frequently just total hangs, remember -current
is not close to being stable due to the SMPng work, so if you need
decent stability go back to the PRE_SMPNG tag (I have, and I'm happy)...

This is a well known issue.

Alright, I think I may just do that too... I was going to try to tough it
out... but it looks like that just won't work I wish there was some
way to get the other changes without getting the SMP stuff though.
